00:00:04,527 --> 00:00:06,916
MIcHAELA: Last time on Orangutan Diary,
2
00:00:07,007 --> 00:00:10,966
Ellie, our little orphan,
was settling into life at the centre.
3
00:00:11,287 --> 00:00:14,279
Meanwhile, her playmate Grendon
was a little nervous
4
00:00:14,367 --> 00:00:16,278
on his first trip into the forest.
5
00:00:16,367 --> 00:00:18,164
STEVE: You're frightened, aren't you?
6
00:00:18,247 --> 00:00:20,886
MIcHAELA: There was some very sad news
from the nursery,
7
00:00:20,967 --> 00:00:24,801
where one of the infants lost
its fight against the flu virus.
8
00:00:25,647 --> 00:00:28,957
With everyone concerned about
more orangutans getting sick,
9
00:00:29,047 --> 00:00:33,404
it was fantastic to see Lomon
taking his first steps to recovery.
10
00:00:34,527 --> 00:00:37,166
But it was the centre's
most recent arrivals,
11
00:00:37,247 --> 00:00:39,203
a starving mother and baby,
12
00:00:39,287 --> 00:00:43,803
that brought home once again
the sad plight of the orangutan.
13
00:01:01,887 --> 00:01:04,526
The Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation
14
00:01:04,607 --> 00:01:07,883
cares for rescued
and confiscated orangutans.
15
00:01:07,967 --> 00:01:12,165
More than 450,
from babies through to mature adults,
16
00:01:12,247 --> 00:01:14,841
have found a safe home at the centre.
17
00:01:17,047 --> 00:01:19,686
Many are the victims of deforestation.
18
00:01:20,167 --> 00:01:24,479
Forests are cleared to make way
for massive palm oil plantations.
19
00:01:27,047 --> 00:01:28,526
If things don't change,
20
00:01:28,607 --> 00:01:32,441
wild orangutans could be
extinct within 1 0 years.
21
00:01:34,487 --> 00:01:37,524
The centre is working
almost at capacity.
22
00:01:39,807 --> 00:01:43,356
It does all it can to care for,
